Stormdoor

Scammers call your parents every day.
Now someone answers to you.

Stormdoor is a family safety service for older adults. Forward any suspicious text, email screenshot, or phone number to your family's Stormdoor number and get a plain-English answer, checked by scam-detection technology and reviewed by a human: “This is a scam. Delete it.”

How it works

1. Save one contact

A family member enrolls Mom or Dad (with their consent) and they save the Stormdoor number as a contact. That's the whole setup.

2. Forward anything suspicious

A weird text, a screenshot of an email, a phone number that keeps calling — they text it to Stormdoor and get an instant acknowledgment.

3. Get a clear answer

Every submission is analyzed against known scam patterns and reviewed by a person before the verdict comes back in plain language: scam, be careful, or looks OK — with exactly what to do next.

Our text messaging program

Stormdoor sends text messages only to enrolled users, and only (a) one enrollment confirmation when a family member adds them with their consent, and (b) replies to messages the user sends to their Stormdoor number — an acknowledgment and one safety assessment per submission. No marketing or promotional messages, ever. Message frequency varies with your use. Message and data rates may apply. Reply HELP for help or STOP to cancel at any time. See our Privacy Policy and Terms and Conditions, and how enrollment and consent work. Mobile information is never shared with third parties for marketing purposes.

Who's behind this

Stormdoor comes from a career spent defending some of the hardest targets there are — including service as Chief Information Security Officer at the U.S. Department of Justice and Chief Information Officer of a federal law enforcement agency, and today leading scam and phishing defense for a Fortune 500 company.

It's also personal. Scammers have reached our own family, and Stormdoor grew out of years of work protecting the people closest to us. The same defense that guards federal agencies and corporations, finally pointed at the people who deserve it most.
